1.7.4. Unit-Summary

A path consists of an arbitrary number of vertices. The connection type - line or curve - between these vertices has to be specified. Paths are used to model complex objects such as e.g. rivers in a map. The presentation of a path is defined by various attributes such as colour, stroke-width, transparency, etc.
